You may have heard of Ellis County as the home of Clyde Barrow, of Bonnie and Clyde infamy. It’s quite a large county, with about 173,600 inhabitants. Some local favorite attractions include the beautiful Ennis Bluebonnet Trails with over forty miles to hike, the Screams Halloween Theme Park in October, the Scarborough Faire, and the National Polka Festival. Bardwell Lake and Lake Waxahachie offer recreation to visitors, and the Trinity River runs along the eastern county line. If you’ve got business in Fort Worth or Dallas, they’re under an hour’s drive away.
